Why this 2-in-1 makes puck prep easier
This 2-in-1 53 mm espresso leveler and tamper streamlines your workflow for cleaner, more repeatable shots. Use the distributor first to flatten and even the grounds, then flip to the tamper to compress for a flat, uniform surface. Set the adjustable depth on each side once, and enjoy consistent prep shot after shot. The black aluminium handle and ~500 g weight give it a sturdy, balanced feel at the bench.

How to use (quick guide)

- Level: use the distributor side for 2–3 gentle turns to even the bed.
- Tamp: flip to the tamper side and press straight down for a flat surface.
- Pull the shot: aim for a 1:2 ratio (e.g., 18 g in → 36 g out) in ~25–30 s, then fine-tune grind as needed.
FAQs
▶Will this fit my machine?
If your basket measures 53 mm, yes. If you’re unsure, measure the inner diameter or use our size guide.
▶Distributor vs tamper — do I need both?
The distributor levels the coffee bed; the tamper compresses it. Using both reduces channelling and improves consistency.
▶Do I need different sizes for tamping and distributing?
No—this tool is 53 mm on both sides. (Some 58 mm users prefer a 58.5 mm tamper for tight-tolerance baskets.)
Customer Reviews
As a newbie to espresso making this distributor and tamper has really improved the consistency of my coffee making. I thoroughly recommend iit if you are currently struggling with the hand tamper that can eceithnyour machine ( if you have a similar set up to me - ie. Barista Express)
Excellent product and great service
I bought this on a whim. Let's be honest, often 2-in-1 devices are a compromise and rarely as good as two separate tools... but this is awesome! It's heavy, depth adjustable, and solidly made. My espresso has gone up a level!
